Résumé
The philosophy behind maintenance work order is essentially that by spending money at a particular time to inspect and repair items, this will prevent increased costs being incurred in the future. By performing maintenance, it is hoped that the reliability and safety of an item will remains sufficiently high and that its lifetime will be extended.
Work orders are the basis of capturing actual costs, labour hours, time and history of maintenance for an asset (Wulff, 2005): the work order is a vital component of any efficient plant. It is often used to procure new materials, schedule routine tasks, or make repairs. When integrated with a strategic asset management system, the work order serves even greater purposes such as record keeping, ensuring regulatory compliance, and budget forecasting. Work orders can assume a more strategic role within the plant, drive greater operational efficiency and reduce costs.
